Glee

One episode in, "Glee 2.0"--otherwise known as the fourth season--looks to be a winner.

Ah, the joy of Glee. I thought the show had lost its way last season, trying to jam songs into theme episodes ("Hello"). But tonight's season opener proves that "Glee" is back in its groundbreaking groove, bringing music to the masses and making fun of itself in the process.

At its best, Glee is not just entertaining but elating, dramatizing Breakfast Club-quality teen angst with the aid of tight production numbers covering new and classic popular songs.

Cynical, sweet and inestimably funny, Glee--which debuted with a single sneak-preview episode last spring, but joins Fox's regular weekly lineup for the first time Wednesday--is by far the best show of the fall TV season that began rolling out this week.

Will this strange combination of starry-eyed optimism and manicured irony eventually combust? Possibly. But until then, there's a lot to like about this weird and frequently winning hybrid.

Individually, they [characters] remain fun, even in a preachy scene where Glee members forget the Golden Rule. But all the vignettes and moments need a show around which to revolve. Glee needs the New Rachel.

Before long, issues of pregnancy will assail both generations, giving birth to subplots that become so credulity-straining it's hard not to yearn for another song to relieve them.

Even though it goes down after Season 4, the show is absolutely amazing! Many twists, awesome music, diversity, basically "High School Musical" grown-up, even better than that cheesy guilty pleasure movie. Worth the watch!

I grew up with this show and I loved it from start to finish, but years later I revisited and the saw the reality of it. Until season 4 the show was great, could've ended there though. After that it seems Ryan Murphy really didn't care that much, the lack of improvement of the characters was really notable, they also changed a lot of things that season 1 already stated.

This show is great and will get you dancing along wherever you are. The singers are excellent. However, as the seasons go on, they get worse and worse. Sadly, I feel like the show got too happy with themselves and decided to keep on making series and sadly they just got worse.

When it first started, I wasn't sure whether I would like Glee. I was interested somewhat but the comparisons to the High School Musical franchise, which I dislike very much, put me off. I still watched the show to start and did enjoy it to start with(if to compare to HSM, this is much better), particularly for the charming production values, sprightly choreography and catchy music. However, by Season 2 Glee for me went downhill and I soon got bored of it. The writing became very clichéd and lazy, the stories uninteresting, episodic and lacking in freshness(I wasn't a fan of the Lady Gaga episodes or the Rocky Horror Picture Show one) and the characters dull and indifferent. The acting was decent to start with, but then you had the sense the actors were starting to get bored with their characters, Naya Rivera is one of about three exceptions to properly inject life into the character she plays. All in all, interesting at first but once it ran out of ideas and became lazier and duller it became hard to watch. 3/10 Bethany Cox

**** show. It had been redeemable it's first three stumbling season but through out the following seasons the sheer creative negligence rendered the show a pioneer in bad choices second only to Riverdale.
